Read and heed. Anathema to sound wave generators everywhere.
"I think the audience for Jazz can be widened if we strengthen our work with structure. If there is more of a reason for what is going on, there'll be more over-all sense and therefore, more interest for the listener....The improvised and written sections should not take on too much complexity---the total effect must be within the mind's ability to appreciate through the ear. Also the music will have to swing, but remember that all music must do this, must have a meaningful rhythmic sense.." John Lewis, MJQ
From the notes of, MJQ: THE EUROPEAN CONCERT. Got it yesterday. Excellent. Seems as if the Good Lord will always send the right stuff at the right time. :)
Cheers
